Description

The following bug report has been submitted:
Platform:        Darwin-18.7.0-x86_64-i386-64bit
ChimeraX Version: 0.91 (2019-08-30)
Description
Silhouette edge thickness of 1 pixel is too small to see on retina displays.  Selection highlights default to thickness of 2 pixels on retina displays and silhouette edges probably should too.

A secondary point is that I can’t even see the silhouettes from clicking the seahorse icon in ChimeraX on this retina display until I make them fatter. I wonder if there should be any compensation of linewidth settings based on display pixels, but maybe it would be too hard to do and/or to explain.

Done.

Default silhouette thickness on retina displays is now 2. On non-retina displays it is 1. This matches the behavior for selection outlines.
